Please join us for our second political education meeting of the year. We will be discussing the eugenics movement in relationship to “intelligence” and testing. As part of this political education, we will visit the Haunted Files Exhibit at NYU’s Asian Pacific American Institute. Since we will be visiting an exhibit, it is super important that we have an accurate count of who will be attending. Please encourage friends and co-workers to RSVP.
We also will have a special celebration for our members to acknowledge our commitment to building NYCoRE and the educational justice movement.

There will also be a NYCoRE 101 Session at 5:30 for folks who are new to NYCoRE and who would like to hear more about the organization and ways to plug into it. If you are interested, please RSVP here.
Vegetarian dinner will be provided. Please bring your own drinks. Also, NYCoRE is making an effort to go more green this year. We’ll have plates and cutlery, but we encourage you to bring your own so we can reduce our use of disposables. Let’s be radical in all aspects of living. Food will be served in the 2nd half of the meeting.
